Awesome! Yi-Wen is a great guy and he makes sure his team takes care of their friends/customers.

Amazing post. Your car is gorgeous, the e92 m3 is one of the sexiest cars I've ever seen and it will go down as one of the best looking cars BMW has ever designed. Great photos and descriptions of your trip too, I absolutely love Europe and haven't been to Germany yet so it was pretty cool lively vicariously through your trip.

I do need to ask though...$15 is the most expensive taxi you've ever taken?!

Who? · 10-30-2013, 11:36 PM

nice tour, looks like you had an amazing time

btw, the Korean restaurant is more like Chinese style Korean food called Cchamppong/JjaJangmyun. definitely not traditional Korean, but Korean food nonetheless

I think we saw you guys in the office while we were doing our paperwork.

This is what ED is all about: memories to last a lifetime. But I know in a few years you will come back to DE for another BMW. We all do.

Thanks guys! Haha I'm already talking to my wife about another ED trip, we'll see... I'm glad people can appreciate this post and even ask to post any future ED experiences.

I'd say if you can do it, just do the ED! LOL

LOL I agree. But 4/10ths was just the first lap, and even at my 4/10ths I was surprised I was passing other cars. My last lap I was comfortable enough to run at a 7/10ths with a wet track.

Thanks guys! greentrbo95gst, I remember reading your write up as well. Awesome job. I was in the middle of writing mine when your write up popped up on the forum. Noticed we were in Europe about the same time, and you already had your write up done. I was like dang it I gotta get mine done. LOL.
